The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 324 Sun Quan Gives Himself a Promotion

Afterwards, Zhang Wu issued an order to raise an army of [-] land and water, and sail down the river in a large ship to attack Wu County.

Zhang Wu went out in person, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and other generals went out with the army, leaving Chen Sun, Wei Yan, Kuai Yue to guard Xiangyang, Xu Shu to guard Fancheng, Liu Pan was not yet fully recovered, and stayed in Xiangyang to recuperate.

Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Xiang Lang, Liao Li, Zong Yu, Xi Zhen and other military advisers set out together with the soldiers, while Liu Ba and Jiang Wan were in charge of transporting food and grass.

Gan Ning stationed in Chaisang was fully responsible for the defense of the Yangtze River and connecting the front and rear.

After the army arrived at Jianye and joined Zhuge Liang, Liu Dingfeng led an army of [-] to defend the north. Zhuge Liang continued to supervise the construction of Jianye City.

Wu County is now Suzhou, with Taihu Lake to the west and flat terrain on the other three sides, with no danger to defend.

The news of the arrival of the Jingzhou army was quickly spread to Sun Quan in Wu County. He knew that this moment was finally coming. Now he was left with Wu County and Kuaiji County. The army and generals were also completely lost, basically reaching the point of desperation. up.

Unexpectedly, less than ten years after inheriting the foundation of his father and brother, Jiang Dong, who was prosperous and powerful at the beginning, has come to this step.

Since the war with Zhang Wu, Jiangdong has never won once. After successive defeats, not only the navy army was completely lost, but even a group of fierce generals left by his father and brother and the generals he personally promoted were either killed or defeated. Prisoner, until now there is only one general left by his side!

Especially Zhou Yu's death made Sun Quan feel that Jiangdong's Optimus Pillar had fallen!Although Sun Quan has always been suspicious of Zhou Yu, he also knows that Zhou Yu is the top commander in the world. As long as Zhou Yu is still there, Jiangdong cannot be destroyed.

In the Battle of Chibi, based on Zhou Yu's calculations, the Jingzhou navy was almost wiped out. Unfortunately, the sky did not help Jiangdong, and a heavy rain wiped out all Sun Quan's hopes.It was that decisive battle that caused the Jiangdong navy to lose all its elite, not only lost many generals, but even Zhou Yu was seriously injured.

Sun Quan knew that Zhang Wu would not let him go, not only because he had attacked Zhang Wu behind his back many times, but with Zhang Wu's ambition, he definitely didn't want to leave any hidden dangers.

If Wu County was captured by Zhang Wu, not only would he not escape death, but the entire Sun family would also be eradicated by Zhang Wu.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan wanted to laugh, it was so funny!

When my elder brother pacified Jiangdong back then, how many heroes and great families he killed, did he not expect it to happen to him so soon?

Gu Yongjin remonstrated: "My lord, Lu Boyan has a great talent and strategy. The former designed to defeat Jingzhou general Liu Pan and behead his deputy Wang Zhong, so that Kuaiji County can be saved. Jiangdong is at stake now. Why not let Lu Boyan lead the army to resist the enemy?"

Sun Quan also knew Lu Xun's talent, but at this time he was more afraid to use Lu Xun, because Sun Ce slaughtered so many people in the Lu family back then, and this blood feud was like a thorn between Sun Quan and Lu Xun.Even if Sun Quan could use Lu Xun with confidence, he was still afraid that Lu Xun thought he would be wary of Lu Xun.

Moreover, Gu Yong is the head of the Gu family. Your Gu family and the Lu family have always been in-laws. If Lu Xun wants to rebel after taking over the military power, who will your Gu family help?

Historically, Sun Quan overcame objections and resolutely appointed Lu Xun as the governor and led the army to resist Liu Bei. It was because it had been a long time, and Lu Xun also married Sun Ce's daughter, and all the generals in the army were there at that time.Even if the general power is handed over to Lu Xun, if he leads the army to resist Liu Bei, naturally no one will dare to disobey the order, but if Lu Xun dares to raise troops to rebel, I believe that no general will be willing to follow.

Sun Quan asked the others, "What do you think?"

Who was not a good person at the scene, as soon as he heard this, he knew that Sun Quan did not want to reuse Lu Xun, otherwise his young but very scheming protagonist would make a decision on the spot.

This is also a common tactic used by the top leader. If he feels that something can be done, and it is sure to be something that will result in political achievements, then in order to show his authority, he will give full play to the top leader's uncompromising style and settle the matter at once.

Conversely, if he feels unsure about something, he is afraid that if he agrees, he will take responsibility, and if he refuses, he will be ridiculed for lack of vision and courage, so he kicks the ball to his subordinates.

In the end, he would say, look, it was all suggested by you at the beginning, and I also followed your advice for the sake of promoting democracy. I didn't expect this to happen!
Now that Sun Quan is asking his subordinates for their opinions, he doesn't really want to listen to their opinions, but wants to use their mouths to reject the proposal.Because he himself can't refuse, otherwise he will be said to have no guts, and he is unwilling to reuse a talented person at such a critical time. What are you afraid of?
Sun Quan really didn't dare to take risks, because now he can only stick to the city of Wu County. If he goes out to fight against the city, he will definitely seek death. Not to mention that most of the soldiers under him are recruits, and there is not even a general who can command the army. Several.

That Zhang Wu is not only invincible in the world, but his generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, etc. are also unparalleled in bravery. Who can resist the attack of these fierce men.

If he sticks to Wu County, he may still have a chance. If the general power is handed over to Lu Xun, what if he surrenders to Zhang Wu?At that time, he can not only avenge his family, but also use himself as a step forward.

Anyway, there is no need for any strategy to defend the city, as long as you stick to it. Moling also defended it for more than 20 days at the beginning. If Zhang Wu did not use some means to collapse the city wall, Lu Su would definitely be able to hold on for a while.

When Sun Ce attacked Lujiang, Lu Kang still defended it for two years. As long as I can defend it for two years, you Zhang Wu will have to retreat too!

The current Wu County is not Moling City. The moat here is deep and wide. Let me see what Zhang Wu can do!
Therefore, Kan Ze said: "Lu Xun is young and has no prestige. If he is used as the governor, I am afraid that the army will not accept it. If disobedience causes disasters, it will definitely miss the big deal!"

Bu Zhi said: "Lu Xun's talents can govern a county at most. If you entrust him with a big task, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Zhou Tai said: "Young son Lu Xun is just a scholar, how can he lead an army!"

The rest of the people also expressed their opposition. Seeing this, Sun Quan rejected Gu Yong's suggestion on the grounds that Lu Xun was too young to convince the public.

Afterwards, Sun Quan felt that everything had come to this point, he might not know how long it would take for his own Jiangdong to perish, but unfortunately he was still a miscellaneous general, so sorry for himself, he had to be promoted no matter what.

At the beginning, Cao Cao was willing to designate Sun Quan as General Zhendong in exchange for Sun Quan's all-out attack on Zhang Wu's back, but Sun Quan was a little unjust, and after he was frustrated in attacking Jiangxia, he turned around and attacked Hefei.

Therefore, of course Cao Cao would not promote Sun Quan again.

Now Sun Quan felt that the general situation was coming, so he took the general of Hushi himself, named Zhou Tai as the general of Zhendong, He Qi as the general of Zhennan, Lu Xun as the general of Pingnan, and Ma Zhong as the general of Pingdong. There is a reward.

If this had happened when Jiangdong was in its heyday, of course everyone would be very happy. At that time, Jiangdong had strong soldiers and horses, was prospering, and had the potential to unify Jiangnan.If Sun Quan could destroy Jingzhou and occupy all areas south of the Yangtze River, let alone lead a hussar general on his own, it would not be impossible for him to become king.

But now, everyone knows that Sun's ship is dilapidated, and a big storm is coming soon. I don't know how long it can stay adrift. No matter how big your official title is, it doesn't mean much.
